Bantam, Connecticut. Tony's spaghetti is a daily treat to many workers at the Warren McArthur plant, some of whom eat both lunch and dinner at Tony's Bantam Inn. In the corner is Foreman Bundock of the upholstery shop, and sitting with him is a young draftsman who just came to Bantam from a job in New York City, his home. At the table in the foreground are four office workers from the plant. Two of these girls are recent college graduates

Bantam, Connecticut. The kapok room in the Warren McArthur upholstery shop is screened off to prevent the feathery filling from flying freely about the plant. Expert at stuffing kapok into cushions are Barbara Skilton and Frances Humphrey. Barbara, at left, lives in Morris, the next town to Bantam, at her father's farm, where several other workers in the plant board. Her husband works at the Waterbury Brass Company, and they have a son two years old. Frances, a graduate of Litchfield High School, prefers this work to the secretarial position she used to have in Torrington. "There is more money, and you don't have to worry about it at night," she says. Both girls began work in Bantam in December, 1941

Bantam, Connecticut. Here are three newcomers to Bantam, in the Warren McArthur upholstery shop. Closest to the camera is Demetress Welch, who came with the plant from Rome, New York, in 1937. In 1940 she married Ray Welch, of Waterbury, who is now working in a sub-assembly shop at the plant. Behind her is Irene Stewart, who came to the plant from Buffalo in June 1941, along with her husband of five years, Malcolm Stewart. Malcolm is a native of London, England, and once owned his own furniture plant in Pittsburgh. The Stewarts moved into a four-room unit of the defense homes project in January, leaving a furnished room in a Bantam farmhouse. Third worker is Alice Langevin, who came to the plant in April, 1941, from Plainfield, Connecticut. She lives in Bantam, in a five-room house which she shares with her brother and sister-in-law and two nephews--all of whom came to Bantam since April, 1941, to work for Warren McArthur
